Mkrtich Armen's "The Tract" reveals the profound division between the world of prisoners and the free world, symbolized by the narrow taiga "paths" and the wide "tract" (highway) reserved for free people. When a brigade of prisoners crosses the tract, they encounter a colorful Gypsy caravan, who, as the ultimate symbol of freedom, brazenly greet the "forest ghosts."
